Given numbers are 982,418,488,257

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 982,418,488,257 is 12870064504.

Find LCM of 982,418,488,257 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 491 x 209 x 244 x 257 = 12870064504

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 982,418,488,257 is 12870064504.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

982 x 418 x 488 x 257 = 51480258016

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

982 : 1, 2, 491, 982

418 : 1, 2, 11, 19, 22, 38, 209, 418

488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488

257 : 1, 257

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 982,418,488,257, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

982:2x 491

418:2x 11x 19

488:2x 2x 2x 61

257:257

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 51480258016/(1x4)

LCM = 51480258016/4

LCM = 12870064504

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 982,418,488,257 is 12870064504.
